The Environmental Stewards Program provides opportunities for individual placements within your organization and that are supported and managed by Environmental Stewards staff.

How do we help you meet your mission?

Environmental Stewards can assist your agency or organization with a wide range of activities including: water monitoring, surveys, program development, volunteer project organization, outreach and education, GIS mapping, interpretive services, trail maintenance and building, and other hands-on work related to environmental stewardship. At the same time, these positions are intended to provide professional development and hands-on experience with environmental and conservation projects for the Steward. Environmental Stewards Staff can help with recruitment, but interviewing and final Steward selection is completely up to the Partner
